And hurry up, Nov. 10!

Amidst the flurry of discussion after the unveiling of Nintendo's Switch. Head of the Xbox division, Phil Spencer, promises that the next Microsoft console will be "The most powerful console ever made."

He announced the departure via Twitter and added that he's "not yet ready to say what that new thing is… But OMG is writing code very [sic] day and exploring ideas fun!" His Twitter bio states his current project is "independent secret stuff."

According to their latest reports, Microsoft has spent $2.1 billion on the Xbox division, but only made $1.7 billion, putting the department at a $400 million dollar loss, attributed to the Xbox One. Many are using this as an opportunity to call the Xbox One a failure, but there's still time; it's too early to expect a new console to be entirely profitable.

MOM NO, I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MATCH, YOU CANT JUST TURN IT OFF. I WAS PWNING NOOBS, MOM!!!1

"Microsoft has revealed its latest product prop: a ridiculously large Xbox One in Vancouver. Straight reports that the console is 40 feet long and 20 feet wide, and that the prop will 'unlock' if enough people 'pledge' their gamertags — hinting that the next-generation monument could be preparing for some sort of human sacrifice."

Is this the prototype that had the power brick inside?

Microsoft held an imaginatively-named Windows 10 Devices event in New York Oct. 6. While they showed off some impressive new phones, a new Surface and a new Surface laptop, we were most interested in seeing new Hololens stuff.

We were super-impressed with the E3 Minecraft demo and have been salivating for more mind blowingness from the augmented reality helmet.

During today's event, they introduced Project X Ray and for the first time, let us see a wearable 'hologram'.



That's when the robots started bursting through the walls.



As with the Minecraft demo, we find this type of interactivity with the surrounding environment super fascinating.

Unfortunately, it's going to come at a price.

Microsoft set a developer kit price at $3,000, shipping in the first quarter of next year.

Time to start saving pennies.

Microsoft just deployed a new robotic security robot, the K5.

Microsoft's Silicon Valley campus was being policed last week by five of these roughly human-sized 300-pound (136 kg) robots, each equipped with enough cameras, sensors, artificial intelligence, and alarms that they can replace most human security patrols.

Microsoft is giving away free copies of Killer Instinct to some loyal consumers. Did you get one? If you didn't and are wondering why, the answer is unclear. Xbox says they "considered a variety of things like Gamerscore, LIVE tenure, & other factors in markets where #XboxOne is available."

E3 is almost here!

The future of gaming is at E3.
